SWbemEventSource object

The SWbemEventSource object retrieves events from an event query in conjunction with SWbemServices.ExecNotificationQuery. You get an SWbemEventSource object if you make a call to SWbemServices.ExecNotificationQuery to make an event query. You can then use the NextEvent method to retrieve events as they arrive. This object cannot be created by the VBScript CreateObject call.

For more information about WMI event notification and queries see Monitoring Events, Running a Script Based on an Event, and Receiving Asynchronous Event Notifications.

' Connect to WMI, obtaining an SWbemServices object
set svc = _
CreateObject("Wbemscripting.SWbemLocator")._
   ConnectServer(,"root\cimv2")

' Obtain an SWbemEventSource object from the 
' SWbemServices.ExecNotificationQuery method to specify the 
' event source as "Application" events in a Win32_NTLogEvent
set evtsrc = svc.ExecNotificationQuery("SELECT * " _
   & "FROM __InstanceCreationEvent " _
   & "WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_NTLogEvent'" _
   & "AND TargetInstance.Logfile ='Application'")

' Wait for an event by executing the NextEvent method on the 
' SWbemEventSource object.
while (num < 5)
    set inst = evtsrc.NextEvent(-1)
    Wscript.echo inst.TargetInstance.Logfile
    num = num + 1
